White Miners

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or miners:

    “Slow, slow, as a fish she came,
    Slow as a fish coming forward,
    Swaying in a long wave;
    Her skirts not touching a leaf,
    Her white arms reaching towards me.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “The miners lost because they had only the constitution. The other side had bayonets. In the end, bayonets always win.”
